Save time by listening to our audio articles as you multitaskFor nearly a century every state has required children to attend school. Compulsory-education laws began in colonial days. The rationale was that an educated citizenry was needed for a democracy.
About 1.7m undocumented immigrants live in Texas, estimates the Migration Policy Institute, a think-tank in Washington,. Texas experienced the second-largest absolute growth of immigrants between 2010 and 2019. Mr Abbott may see an opportunity for his upcoming gubernatorial race. According to polling by/YouGov, 95% of Republicans say that the issue of immigration is important. Appearing tough on immigrants could be politically advantageous.
Well if the people up north had to “ educate illegal settlers “ they’d be on the same page,that’s one reason the Texas governor is shipping bus loads of illegal invaders to Washington DC, let’s share the pain
Clearly not had much of an education himself!
The Britain in Europe UE have the same rights of the countries they live in if they own the citizenship or even doublecitizenship?
Education is always a good thing. It must be a difficult situation for undocumented immigrants. No rites, looked on with suspicion and contempt by the locals. Cheated and taken advantage of. Going home, not the preferred option. We should control entry, but treat them better.
Education is basic need like air and water under any circumstances
Yes, tell us about all those precious lives TX is saving and for what purpose?
Build the wall, deport them all!
The Texas government should not use public money for this worthy cause. Instead crowdfunding has to initiated to pay all the costs for helping illegal immigrants.
This is how California became blue
Doesn't Greg knows that he is not going to live forever...
Look. The problem is the problem. Without the education we will pay in the long run with crime etc. educate them if you want to change policy then they would be grandfathered in anyway. What is it with these grumpy “get off my lawn” politicians. Have some soul.
Tant qu'à agir ainsi. Il serait bon d'arrêter toute cette immigration. Lorsque tu n'es pas prêt à aider l'accueil alors, arrête.
Super dumb idea as it will just increase desperation and crime. Tighten up the borders instead.
Does anyone really think that children growing up without education is good for society? If you want to live in safe environment ypu need more educated people not less.
Why do Democrats feel that using the working taxpayers money to benefit illegals is a good thing? There are so many taxpayers who are struggling. Yet funds are being diverted to reward illegals so working taxpayers get nothing because there is not enough money to go around
And then, with no school, no éducation and a lot of time doing nothing good, these so 'good christians' will be able to blame these 'rapist' immigrants of all the possible crimes. But, Texas is such a poor state with no money !!!
Yet Texas educators are saying that these students aren't a financial burden and that this is a manufactured crisis. This is more about politics and less about saving tax dollars or helping communities
I think texas spends too much on politicians
He is right
What’s the per pupil spending average? Thinking they spend too much =\\= denying education
You mean non taxpayers can't use taxpayers fund services...crazy talk I know.
Couple of months ago I came across a recommendation about Arnoldnike93 wealth how he helped investors to earn lots of money with their investments. and I decided to give a trial with the little I have. Now my little has turned into something great which was not my expectation
Back when Republicans made some sense:
Don't take it out on the kids... golden rule.
Wow. He’s really doubling down on the racist rhetoric for electrion year
The GOP's focus is holding people down rather than lifting them up.
GovAbbott wants to deny an actual education to all Texans.
That is unfortunate to hear, but to be fair free education is for US citizens
It is not like the educational system works. Just teach kids how to follow instructions just to be employees and work for the rest of their life. Schools are a matter of the past already, whatever you need to know you can find it on the internet nowadays.
Why not apply free-market principles? The schools that have the best student performance get the most funding. People get so wrapped up in keeping things 'free', but it's all tax-funded, so it's not really free. We should focus on optimizing education per dollar.
GO GREG …….
Can't even give proper education to American citizens - constant decline in test scores and grade inflation allows illiterates to get high school diplomas. Just what schools need kids with no English knowledge and cultural differences putting a further drag on education.
If you haven't paid in, you shouldn't get anything out. It seems perfectly fair to me!
40 years ago we didn’t have runaway illegal entry that is encouraged by the dems in order to reshuffle voter demographics. You might want to be more familiar with what is actually happening.
